A few months ago, I found out that my 16 year old cousin got a girl pregnant, and he and the girl and her family moved half way across the country to do god knows what.

And apparently, he's also engaged.

No one let me know this, and oddly enough, he was at my house while his girlfriend was pregnant.

So lately, he's been sending me facebook messages.

What am I supposed to say?

"Hey, how's the baby?"

"Hey, how's life being a potential drop out?"

"Hey, have you spoken to your FAMILY lately?" because I get the feeling I'm like the only person he's made contact with.

Well I'd figure, 'Hey, how have you been?' would work. But those sound good.

The situation is tough enough. Just talk to him a like a normal person.

Yeah, I'm trying. We aren't that close of "friends" to begin with. I mean, we're family, but it's not like we're best friends.

I don't want to ask him about the baby, since evidentially, it was intentionally kept under wraps.

Well... how old are you? Are you the closest one to his age in your family? He may be reaching out to you in hopes for advice and such.

We are the same age, so you have a good point there.

Thanks for your advice.
